Today we have a chat with Justin Andreas. Justin began running in 2018 finishing a half-marathon. Little did he know that he would expand that to doing a couple 100-mile races in less than 4 years. The Bighorn 100 is nothing to scoff at. Crazy elevation gain, rugged mountains, technical trail running, stupid hot and frigid cold all rolled into a 100-mile suffer fest. Justin endured it all and finished with a smile on his face.

We talk gear, training, diet, running to be a better hunter and hunting to fuel the run. But what I really enjoyed was him sharing his in-race strategies at the aid stations, how he thought about his gear drops and what he needed from his team at the aid stations. I have not managed to nail down how I will fuel myself on my next long run, but his insights are pushing me in the right direction. To add a little bit more excitement to the day, his wife completed her first ultra in the same mountains on the same day!

I appreciated having Justin on, and with his move to Alaska coming up soon I imagine we will be hearing from him very soon.

Thank you all for listening, I love every damn one of you.

Here’s to the hunt.
